claimant’s certification or statement on 

an RRB provided claim form that he or 

she did not work on any day claimed 

and did not receive income such as 

vacation pay or pay for time lost shall 

constitute sufficient evidence unless 

there is conflicting evidence. Further, 

under 20 CFR 322.4(b), when there is a 

question raised as to whether or not 

remuneration is payable or has accrued 

to a claimant with respect to a claimed 

day or days, investigation shall be made 

with a view to obtaining information 

sufficient for a finding. 

Form ID–5S(SUP), Report of Cases for 

Which All Days Were Claimed During a 

Month Credited Per an Adjustment 

Report, collects required information 

about compensation credited to an 

employee during a period when the 

employee claimed either unemployment 

or sickness benefits from a railroad 

employer. The request is generated as a 

result of a computer match that 

compares data which is maintained in 

the RRB’s RUIA Benefit Payment file 

with data maintained in the RRB’s 

records of service. The ID–5S(SUP) is 

generated annually when the computer 

match indicates that an employee(s) of 

the railroad employer was paid 

unemployment or sickness benefits for 

every day in one or more months for 

which creditable compensation was 

adjusted due to the receipt of a report 

of creditable compensation adjustment 

(RRB FORM BA–4, OMB Approved 

3220–0008) from their railroad 

employer. 

The computer generated Form ID–

5S(SUP) includes pertinent identifying 

information, the BA–4 adjustment 

process date and the claimed months in 

question. Space is provided on the 

report for the employer’s use in 

supplying the information requested in 

the computer generated transmittal 

letter, Form ID–5S, which accompanies 

the report. To our knowledge no other 

agency uses forms similar to Form ID–

5S(SUP). Completion is voluntary. One 

response is requested of each 

respondent. The RRB estimates that 80 

responses are received annually. The 

RRB proposes non-burden impacting 

editorial changes to Form ID–5S(SUP) 

and Form ID–5S.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon written request, copies available 

from: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC 

20549. 

Extension: Rule 15c3–1f, SEC File No. 270–

440, OMB Control No. 3235–0496. 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for approval of extension on the 

following rule: 17 CFR 240.15c3–1f 

(Appendix F to Rule 15c3–1 

(‘‘Appendix F’’)). 

Appendix F requires a broker-dealer 

choosing to register, upon Commission 

approval, as an OTC derivative dealer to 

develop and maintain an internal risk 

management system based on Value-atRisk (‘‘VAR’’) models. Appendix F also 

requires the OTC derivatives dealer to 

notify Commission staff of the system 

and of certain other periodic 

information including when the VAR 

model deviates from the actual 

performance of the OTC derivatives 

dealer’s portfolio. It is anticipated that 

five (5) broker-dealers will spend 1,000 

hours per year complying with 

Appendix F. The total burden is 

estimated to be approximately 5,000 

hours. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication. 

Direct your written comments to R.
